Malaysia Travel Guide

Malaysia is one of the most underrated travel destinations in Southeast Asia. People often skip it when they’re backpacking through the region. This is too bad because it has a lot to offer the traveler that wants to experience the food, history, and culture of a place.

In this travel guide, you’ll find loads of tips, advice, and inspiration for helping you plan your trip to Malaysia. All of this information is based on my 2 trips to Malaysia. My first trip was to Melaka, Penang, Langkawi, Ipoh, the Cameroon Highlands, and Kuala Lumpur. My second trip was right before the world shut down in 2020. I almost got stuck in the country.
